Another start time of 5:40 in this house. He's had 2 meltdowns. The RLP is a struggle today. Literally counting down the minutes until DH walks through the door.
C woke up at the asscrack of dawn for no reason. I brought him into ny room and he waa good at first, just sitting next to me, but he wouldn't lay down to sleep. Now he is bouncing around like a crazy person all over the bed. Thank the lort for a king sized matress. I already cant wait for H to get home tonight.

DH finally responded to my subtle attempt to find out if he is on his way home yet. His shift ended 46 minutes ago and he still needs to send some emails then he'll be coming home. Hurry. Up.
I also need to go let the neighbors dog out. Thankfully they will be home today.
I'm working on my grad school homework, H is at work and I want to buy a couple things but keep forgetting that all of the stores are going to be crazy today.

DH is home finally. He is going to take ds out for a bit so I can be by myself. I don't think I even want to be by myself but I also don't know what I want to do. I should use that time to make the 2 desserts I said I would make for my moms. I'm about to say F it and bring the leftover desserts from yesterday's events since I have almost a whole pumpkin dump cake and 1/2 of a large bowl of dirt pudding, but my mom and brother were so excited about the 2 desserts I'm making that I don't want to let them down.
DH keeps saying he's sorry that the day was so long for me yesterday going to all of his family thanksgiving. All 3 were his. I'd rather have a "thank you for doing it all on your own" instead. Especially since I didn't even want to go to the 3rd one.

DD actually slept until 7:15am. That is unheard of these days.
Today is day 1 of 3 day potty training boot camp. We already had 1 accident 1 minute after I had her on the potty. It's going to be a long day! Thank goodness for easy clean up on laminate flooring!

Good luck! I cant wait to start this with C. I was hoping he would be showing signs of readiness now at 18m but no such luck.
Stuck at home with a toddler who is too sick to go to daycare during the work shop I was supposed to do but not so sick he can't pull the ornaments off the Christmas tree. We did have a very cute long snuggle this morning though so that was a perk. Maybe we'll do some grandparent christmas crafts today to pass the time
A part of me really doesnt want to bother with the xmas tree this year. C is just going to pull all the ornaments off and probably tip it at least once. I want it up but my brain keeps saying itll be more hassle than its worth... I dont think my H would stand for no tree though so its probably not even a decision ill get to make.

obi ds was surprisingly uninterested in messing with our Christmas tree whe he was 12 and 24 months old, so he might surprise you. Hell I'm more worried about ds as a 3 year old than I was at 1 or 2.

I hope youre right! C loves destroying all the things, but is pretty ok with listening to "no". Ill feel like even more of a broken record, if nothing elde.

We're having a lazy day. Originally I told my parents we'd stay at their house after Thanksgiving but I'm sick and DH and I both wound up with work to do at the last minute. But the dog is still at the kennel because he needs to run off some energy (the kennel is actually a farm where he can play with a pack of dogs and dig and be wild and crazy). I did some Xmas and baby shopping.
obi, my DS is around the same age as yours and is worst with the tree right around transition times. Other than right before or after something big he leaves it alone. Being sick has thrown it off a bit but I don't regret putting the tree up. He gets so excited when we turn the lights on in the evening
DH and I are at odds re: Christmas tree. He wants to put up a huuuuge real tree and I think we should just put up our fake one with some lights and non-breakable ornaments. My 18 month old is a curious climber and if I can't trust him around the dog bowl I can't trust him around a tree with water that he can climb! Maybe I just need to chill out and see what happens though based on some of your experiences!
In other news, my best Black Friday purchase was 25% off a new Nose Frieda and Windi for the baby.
I just got a winter jacket set for C in 3T, a 3m girls body sleeper and a 3m girls set with a short and long sleeve onesie and pants for $94. The coat alone was normally $100 so I am happy to come in under that!

This is the most I've ever bought on Black Friday. I bought the crib, my mom's xmas gift, part of my dad and stepmom's gift, part of my brother's gift, and some more maternity leggings. I might get my goddaughter's gift and a little something for DH, too. That would be almost all the Xmas shopping done, which is ridiculous.
